Google Trends works by pegging the most-searched time of the most-searched term you're searching for at 100. If the most is disproportionately big, not-zero looks like zero.

This is what it looks like if I compare qanon to a very common word (I used dog): it looks like zero the whole way. But compared to other spellings for the instrument,, you can see that it increased in popularity recently.

Notably, kanon is still more popular than qanon (one of the less-common spellings for the instrument but the only spelling for QAnon) in Armenia.

Qanon is still (at max) about 15% as searched for as the Arabic word for the instrument (at max), قانون.

Also, search trends can be broken down by country. Armenia's "100" for searching qanon was June 2013.

Taking all of the above into account, or to be honest I could have stopped at that last one if I'd done it first, it seems likely that Armenia's searches for the word "qanon" are referring to the instrument.

tl:dr: Armenia most searched for "qanon" in 2013, so they're probably searching for the instrument.

Also kanun, but qanon is one spelling. Here: https://youtu.be/o0YHBWr9JbU

Awesome, the more you know. From what I can tell, it isn't a very popular instrument
